A close look at the scriptures reveals that there is an implied campus or reference point given to us in the scriptures to use for positioning rapture in the continuum of end time events, namely, trumpets.
Some scholars have wrongly defined the great tribulation period as a period of God's wrath upon the antichrist world and his armies. A close look at scriptures shows that the great tribulation period...
Indeed we are told to wait for the coming of Christ, but which is after the tribulation of those days.
The post-tribulation rapture idea appears to contradict the scripture that says, "Nobody knows the day nor the hour,"..
The great tribulation will be for the nation of Israel; and there is no mention of church in the Book of Revelation..
The Gathering is one of the most important aspects of the end times. It is often overlooked it carries some of the most profound and revealing truths about these dynamic times.

As discussed previously, whereas scriptures say expressly, that saints will go through the great tribulation (Daniel 7:25; Matthew 24:22; Revelation 7:9-14; 12:17; 13:7),
The word of God was written in heaven before it came into earthly scrolls (Psalms 119:89; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21). God used humans and their natural circumstances to get the word from heaven into the earthly realm.
These and many other articles and books I have written demonstrate beyond a shade of doubt that the rapture of the church will take place after the great tribulation and the appearance of the son of man. Right now, in terms of conscious awareness, the odds are against the church - whereas the next major event in Bible end time prophecy is the great tribulation, many are expecting the rapture.

Do not believe dogmatically or in a rigid fashion. Test everything presented here with the width and depth of scripture like the Bereans did when they received new or uncommon teachings (Acts 17:11). The bible lays the burden of proof of (the responsibility to test) prophecy, teachings and spirits, upon the hearer (1 Thes. 5:20-22; 1 John 4:1).
